Taylor Swimming Pool

Tuesday, 20. March 2012 by jgill
Taylor Pool needs your help!  The pool, like others, has had problems with getting qualified staff for pool operations~it is to the point that they might not be able to open this year!  As they have been ‘grandfathered’ in to a lot of the new regulations, one year of not being open could mean that they won’t be allowed to open in future years.
Please pass this on to as many people as you can to see if we can get some interest in staffing.  If you know of anyone in University or College, please pass it along to them as well, as they have had students working during the summer in the past!  The link below shows the current ad on the District website.  Although it notes that applications are open until positions are filled, the topic of whethere to open or not will be discussed at the April 3rd Council meeting, as they need to know before commencing pool set up mid to late April.  Contact info is in the link as well!

Fitness as Medicine

Monday, 20. February 2012 by jgill

As parents, we do everything we can to help our children grow up healthy, happy and successful.  With the increasing pace of life, how do we fit it all in?  If 30 minutes a day would greatly decrease their risks of obesity, anxiety, depresion, diabetes and heart disease and greatly increase their their confidence, their ability to learn, interact with others and sleep, would you do it?  Obviously!  This panacea is EXERCISE and 30 minutes a day is the dosage.  This is not radical information but new research is showing us how urgent getting active is. It can’t wait until tomorrow, or after the snow melts, or when you find time.  It has to happen TODAY and tomorrow and the days after that!  But it doesn’t have to hurt.  Check out their website to learn more about what we can do for our kids!
